Best Greekified Green Beans Recipes

GREEK GREEN BEANS (FASOLAKIA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a large Dutch Oven, heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender, stirring occasionally (about 5 mins). Then add the garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook another 2 mins, stirring regularly, until fragrant.
• Add tomatoes, water, bay leaf, beans, and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat and bring to a high simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Cover and transfer to the heated oven. Cook until the sauce slightly thickens, and the beans and potatoes can easily be cut with side of your fork; about 35 minutes or so. (It's a good idea to check once partway through cooking, add a little bit of water if needed.)
• Remove from oven and stir in 2 tbsp lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley. Stir in a generous drizzle of olive oil (at least another 1/4 cup).
• Serve immediately with Greek pita bread or your favorite rustic bread to sop up the sauce!

• 4. Stir in the tomatoes and bell pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover.
